Anthology, my women's vocal quartet, is
starting our fall season with a concert of world premieres, written
particularly for us by six members of the Boston Composers' Coalition!
Join us this weekend, in person or online, to experience six unique
pieces of new music by Heather Gilligan, PoChun Wang, Brett Abigana,
Andrew Smith, Ramon Castillo and Justin Casinghino! (To pique your interest, I will say that one of these pieces is something I would definitely like to program again with a women's choir; and another is one of the cleverest pieces of new music I have ever sung.)

Friday, October 4th at 8 pm (7:30 pm pre-concert reception) atThe Green Room (thegreenroomsomerville.com)
62 Bow Street, Somerville, MACome and join us in this intimate new performance space for a salon-style evening of new music, conversation and refreshments. Be warned: we expect this concert to sell out, so get there early!Saturday, October 5th at 8 pm at
Killian Hall, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
160 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MABoth concerts are free and open to all. Details concerning both concerts and directions to venues can all be found at: www.bostoncomposers.org
If you can't attend the concert in person, you can also visit the
website during concert time to be connected to a live stream of each
event.

We have worked our tails off on this concert, and there is so much variety and invention on the program that there is sure to be something for everyone! Hope to see you this weekend, either in person or in cyberspace!
